Chiang Mai
#7 in Best Places to Visit in Asia
One of the most interesting destinations in Thailand, Chiang Mai definitely has a buzz about it like Bangkok but offers more of a reprieve thanks to its surrounding mountains and location in the northwestern part of the country. Your itinerary should include tours of breathtaking temples like Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh, trips to night markets, a visit to an elephant sanctuary or two and a wander through beautiful Doi Suthep-Pui National Park.
Bangkok

Thailand’s capital is filled to the brim with eye-catching Hindu sites, nonstop nightlife and incredible Thai cuisine. Find your chi at sacred sites like Wat Arun and Wat Pho, or hit up the Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the world’s largest street markets. While here, grab some grub from street stalls as much as possible: Bangkok is considered one of the best places to get street food in the world.
